Electric Scooter Maintenance Guides

1. Extend Your Scooter Battery Life

Your battery is the most expensive part of your scooter. Taking care of it will save you money and keep your range consistent.

• Avoid fully draining the battery—try to stay between 20% and 90%.
• Don’t leave the scooter in a hot car or direct sun for long periods.
• Use the original charger or a compatible, high-quality replacement.
• Store the scooter at ~50–60% charge if you won’t use it for a few weeks.

2. How to Fix Squeaky or Weak Brakes

Brakes that squeak or feel soft can usually be fixed with a quick inspection and simple adjustments.

1. Inspect the pads for wear—replace them if they’re thin or glazed.
2. Clean the rotor or drum with isopropyl alcohol (never oil).
3. Tighten the brake cable slightly if the lever feels too loose.
4. Test at low speed in a safe area before commuting again.

3. Changing Tires Without Damage

Worn or punctured tires reduce grip and comfort. Here’s a simple approach to swapping them.

• Gather tire levers, replacement tire/tube, and a pump.
• Loosen any axle nuts or bolts and carefully remove the wheel.
• Use levers to unseat the old tire, taking care not to pinch the tube.
• Install the new tube and tire, inflate slowly, and check for pinches.

4. Basic Care for New Riders

Just got your first scooter? Start here. A few simple routines will keep it in good shape.

• Check tire pressure once a week.
• Do a quick brake test before every ride.
• Wipe dust and dirt off moving parts regularly.
• Keep the charging port dry and covered when not in use.
